Painting with Corel Painter

Corel Painter 12 Classes Start April 7, 2012 at Digitial Art Academy

It is that time again. The next session at the Digital Art Academy(DAA) begins on Saturday, April 7th. Registration is open and will remain open until Friday, April 13th. Gosh, Friday week is the 13th…I wonder if there will be a new Friday the 13th movie. I digress. Let’s get back to those classes. If you have never taken a class at DAA, taking one is a real treat. And if you have taken one, I’m sure you are ready to take another one. The participants of the class download all the lessons and resources and can use them at their leisure. Most classes have PDFs and video lessons. Some classes have live sessions using Go To Meeting. The live sessions are recorded and available to all. The teachers are laid back, informative, and always ready to answer questions, and comment on the work. Here is a rundown of the current classes.

For Painter 12 beginners, Elaina Moore-Kelly returns with Introduction to Painter – Part 1 and 2. Part 3 will be coming next session I understand. You will love Elaina’s classes. They are very detailed and cover everything. She uses a lot of PDFs, which makes referring to the materials very easy. These classes are very reasonably prices, as are all DAA classes.

Registration also begins for Open Studio, Summer Skies. DAA has four Open Studios per year; Summer Skies takes the number two slot for 2012. Karen Bonaker is at her best with Open Studio. She maneuvers in and out of a many media, whatever the participant want to use, and brings extra knowledge and skill to all. Do not miss any Open Studios.

For folks transitioning from Painter 11 to Painter 12, try my Painter 12, A New Beginning class. I cover all that is new in Painter 12. This isn’t for beginners, please be familiar with Painter 11. I love watercolor in Painter 12, especially loose, splashy, washy watercolor. In The Basics of Watercolor, that is exactly what I teach. I do love brush making in Painter 12, too. Obviously, I must have a class in Brush Making Basics for Painter 12.

I hope to see all of you at DAA this session. You will love it and become part of the family right off the bat.
